Es Saadi Palace
This is the place to stay for those looking to party!

Housed in the former casino theatre, Theatro is Marrakech’s premier nightclub, known to attract the best DJs. The on-site brasserie, Epicurean, is a popular dinner option for both locals and expats with the DJ spinning until 4am.
